Here is the law and the author's added corollaries:

BRIFFAULT’S LAW:

The female, not the male, determines all the conditions of the animal family. Where the female can derive no benefit from association with the male, no such association takes place.

There are a few corollaries I would add:

  1. Past benefit provided by the male does not provide for continued or future association.

  2. Any agreement where the male provides a current benefit in return for a promise of future association is null and void as soon as the male has provided the benefit (see corollary 1)

  3. A promise of future benefit has limited influence on current/future association, with the influence inversely proportionate to the length of time until the benefit will be given and directly proportionate to the degree to which the female trusts the male (which is not bloody likely).

Most men will understand corollary one as the, "What have you done for me lately?", attitude of women.

Yes, Briffault's Law and Tomassi's 6th (?) rule should be the fundamental truths that all red pill men should internalize. Before you can progress, you have to understand these laws and accept them.

I just started my red pill course and have been reading on Roissy, Rollo Tomasi, Roosh, Dalrock etc.

Could you please link to these corollaries?

Start here: http://rationalmale.wordpress.com/category/iron-rules/

Rule 6 is the most important to me though:

Iron Rule of Tomassi #6 Women are utterly incapable of loving a man in the way that a man expects to be loved.

"In its simplicity this speaks volumes about about the condition of Men. It accurately expresses a pervasive nihilism that Men must either confront and accept, or be driven insane in denial for the rest of their lives when they fail to come to terms with the disillusionment."

The first step is to let go of trying to get a woman to love you in the way you love her. She's incapable. She will experience attraction, arousal, and love in ways that can seem duplicitous to you, but that's just the way they are. You have to accept this reality. Women use men as tools to fulfill their deficits and this is how they experience love. It's a bitter point to accept, but you can't progress until you accept that fundamental. As Rollo points out, it doesn't mean they are incapable of love, but that it will not be the type of love you idealize. It's their own type of love and connection. They aren't malicious in intent, but just fulfilling their imperatives.

The Iron Rules of Tomassi are listed therein, as well as a TON of awesome Red Pill material.

What I don't understand is what do you do with this knowledge once you acquire it?

My feeling is that it means every relationship has an expiration date.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children) | Copy Link

Most relationships these days do have an expiration date and we explore those reasons all the time here. There are some women out there who won't necessarily let their hypergamy control them, but there are very few of them.

If she's a blue pill woman, she probably will get bored with you at some point. If you can find a red pill woman and then constantly game her, you may have a chance. All of this only feels 'wrong' because of your perspective.

Any agreement where the male provides a current benefit in return for a promise of future association is null and void as soon as the male has provided the benefit (see corollary 1)

In other words, if you ever plan on getting something as a form of bartering with women, you have to get your end of the bargain first. Case in point, all the guys who were promised threesomes if they did something for their woman, like letting her have a devil's threesome, only to have the woman go back on her word. GET YOURS FIRST.

Everytime I read briffaults law I get depressed.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children) | Copy Link

I find myself sifting for that 10%. Maybe once did I find one and we parted company long ago. I always thought SEAsian (poor countries generally) where hypergamic beyond belief for a western man.

Men take out large insurance policies so their wives and children will be well taken care of should they die. Even if the wife is making (nearly) as much money as the husband, she will not have insurance. She sees no reason to reduce her current ability to spend to take care of others after she is dead. She could care less what happens to the husband, and doesn’t want the husband to be able to spend money on some young bimbo, after she dies. The life insurance gender statistics are well known, and widely available. None of this should be a shocking revelation. When my second wife died, her mandatory insurance (free) provided by her teacher’s union covered her funeral expenses. It would have made life much easier if her insurance had paid the over $350,000 my life insurance would have paid.

I've often heard stories of SAHMs getting jobs and then all of a sudden that new money is HER money.

[–]Bobsutan 1 point2 points  (1 child) | Copy Link

One of the major factors in divorce is arguing about money. The most important thing you can do as a man who doesn't want to get finacially rapped, either by your wife or the court should you ever divorce, is to NEVER COMBINE YOUR MONIES.

You have your account and she has her account. You can either split bills evenly or you can both contribute to a 3rd account specifically for bills. Your money is yours, her money is hers, and there is never an issue of "our" money and the associated arguments over how it should be spent.

Also, notice there's no question about her having an income, she's not a stay at home wife/mom. Why is that? Because you can only marry someone with similar income to that of your own. That's a huge mitigator of the incentive of divorce theft. If she can't get anything out of you because you both earned about the same, then there's no point pining about divorce, the EPL lifestyle afforded by his income through alimony, and all those other juicy incentives women have to divorce for frivolous reasons.

If a woman stands to lose as much as the man, you can bet your ass she's going to think long and hard about filing for divorce, and if she ever does it'll likely be for good reasons. Of course most guys don't go this route and wonder why and how they got blindsided by a divorce that takes them to the cleaners.

Well theoretically that can mitigate the damage, but a lot of men, like myself, only become red pill aware after a decade of marriage or more. Also, she will sill be much more likely to get your children and then get a lot of child support out of you. It only mitigates the damage.

I was really referring to the situation where the wife has stayed home for many many years while the husband provided all of the income for the family, but as soon as she is working, then the money coming in is just hers to spend as she wishes.

Can you pay my bills?
Can you pay my telephone bills?
Do you pay my automo' bills?
If you did then maybe we could chill
I don't think you do
So, you and me are through

Is another way of saying that "What have you done for me lately/going to do for me?" And to continue this awful Janet Jackson inspired analogy "It better be something I can't do myself."

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
